Blackberry Thyme Gin and Tonic

The end of this crappy year is upon us so we will need some drink ideas to celebrate! While I don’t think 2021 is going to be super enjoyable either, it can only get better than 2020.

Besides the global pandemic and losing my Bubbie, 2020 hasn’t been as terrible for me as it has for others and I am thankful for that. It has definitely been a year of reflection and trying to improve myself. I have been able to see what really matters most in my life and be thankful that I have a roof over my head, a supportive family, good friends, health and incoming income. Everything else is really just extra- and I’m thankful for the extras too.

All of that and more is still reason to celebrate the new year and what better way to do that than with a fun cocktail. Give this Blackberry Thyme Gin and Tonic a try. It’s super simple, super yummy and worth gossiping about!
